Trackpad click will not work
Hi,
I have a Macbook Pro and the trackpad is working, but will not click on either the bottom left or right. Anyone ever have this problem? Any help would be appreciated. Also, would Apple fix it for free if less than 1 year old? I would like to see if there is something I can do without having to take it apart before I bring it in to the store.
Thanks!

Yes. You are still under warranty. Call Apple tech support first.
I would like to see if there is something I can do without having to take it apart before I bring it in to the store.
Let AppleCare deal w/it. You should never take your computer apart as long as it is under warranty and/or you have AppleCare. If you mess up, your warranty will be voided.

Did you check your trackpad settings in System Preferences? You make no mention of doing so.

My ipod classics clicker will not work
my ipod classics clicker will not work so i can not turn it off or on i cant play music or anything please help
Have you checked the 'Hold' button at the top left of your Classic to make sure it didn't get bumped into the ON position?
If it's been moved to the right and you can see the red indicator, then 'Hold' has been switched on and none of the buttons on the iPod will work.
What happens if you plug your iPod into a charger or connect it to iTunes?

Trackpad click bar not working correctly after getting a keyboard replacement.
I just got my whole keyboard replaced two days ago due to a sticking "m" problem on my 2008 macbook pro. They didn't replace my trackpad, but now, it seems that my trackpad clicker will only respond if I apply a lot of pressure to the middle of the upper edge of the bar. If I click anywhere else on the bar, the bar is completely unresponsive. It makes clicking and dragging nearly impossible. I once had this problem when I had a bulging battery, but the battery is fine now. Could something have happened when they replaced the keyboard? It can't be coincidence... Is there a home remedy? I know they will want to replace it if I take it in, and my old maching has been off warranty for a while now.
Either a misalignment or a cable is not properly connected.
Since they just "fixed" the keyboard I'd say take it back as they most likely caused this problem.
If you want to do it yourself, iFixit could be particularly useful:

My trackpad click is not working correctly
Hello
My trackpad click not working very well. the click only work when press in the centre area of the trackpad which make it difficult to click so now I enable tap touch to make click. I got used to touch tap but if you want to drag something it is annoying.
anyway, is my trackpad is damaged or software problems ?
how can I fix it ?
I don't have Apple insurance Can I bring it to the Apple store ? Can I buy AppleCare now ?
I got the latest MacBookIf your MacBook was bought less than 12 months ago it's still under the 1 year warranty. You can only buy the AppleCare warranty extension before the original warranty runs out.

Hi I've been having trouble with my Satellite p755-s5390 (windows 7). It suddenly stopped being able to left click (and tapping to click as well), right click works and the pointer moves but using left click doesn't work at all, I've tried restoring to a previous date, reinstalling the touchpad driver, resetting things to default, fn-f9 solution, I have a button that clicks on and off the touchpad as well but I've tried that and still nothing I have no idea. I'm pretty frustrated and wondering if anyone could help me out?
I would try an external USB mouse. One to verify that it's not some mouse settings problem. If the external mouse's left button works, but not the built-in one, I'd say this was a hardware problem. Call the Call Center and arrange to get it repaired.

FF shows that it is loaded but the website will not come onto the screen. When I put the mouse on the icon, the website is there, apparently to be opened. I click on it, screen flickers and nothing but still showing on icon. I right click, select maximum, and nothing. I was on 3.6.15, upgraded to 3.6.16 and not to 3.4. They are all doing the same thing. I uninstalled FF and reinstalled. Still nothing.
OK, I found a way to do this. Might not be the best way, but it turns out that I can put a addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, gottaMouseUp) in the calling class, add a public variable in the button class that lets me know if the correct button has been clicked, and use that in the calling class to decide which button was clicked. I knew it was something simple like that....

My magic trackpad will not work (at all) in Parallels (W7)
The trackpad works beautifully on my Intel iMac (Lion) 10.7.2, but will not work at all under Windows 7 on Parallels. All latest updates of everything to my knowledge.
I find no notes on this either on the Parallels site or here. Am i the only one in the universe having this problem. To be clear, there is no response from the pad whatever - nada, bupkis.
Maybe I have to pair it manually with Windows? That seems odd since everything else works fine that is connected to the iMac.
Tips, hunches, soothing words?
Thanks!If you downloaded and installed the Windows support software in accordance with the instructions, you now have a diamond shaped icon in the Windows task bar. Clicking this icon opens the Bootcamp control panel where all your trackpad settings can be configured.

On my MacBook Pro, sometimes when I click to close tabs in Safari the button will not work. I have to click on some other part of the screen and then it will. This happens in other programs like Word/Excel for changing font, etc. Solution/Suggestions?
Start up in Safe Mode.

My ipos Nano click wheel will not work, however when it is docked on mobile speakers it will work from the remote control.
If it continues to malfunction after a restore, it's probably bad hardware.
I'd recommend making a Genius Bar appointment. They'll probably give you a couple options: Replace it with an identical model for a discounted price, or trade it in for recycling and get 10% off a new iPod. -

Hello,
In Firefox 23, as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options set and protect users from unintentially damaging their Firefox, the option to disable JavaScript was removed from the Firefox Options window.
However, the option to disable JavaScript was not removed from Firefox entirely. You can still access it from about:config or by installing an add-on.
'''about:config'''
# In the address bar, type "about:config" (with no quotes), and press Enter.
# Click "I'll be careful, I promise"
# In the search bar, search for "javascript.enabled" (with no quotes).
# Right click the result named "javascript.enabled" and click "Toggle". JavaScript is now disabled.
To Re-enable JavaScript, repeat these steps.
'''Add-ons'''
You can alternatively install an add-on that lets you disable JavaScript, such as
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/noscript/ No-Script] (to disable JavaScript on a per page basis, as required)
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/quickjava/ QuickJava] (to easily disable and enable JavaScript, automatic loading of images, and other content)
Thank you and I hope this helps! -
My Macbook Pro keyboard and USB keyboard will not work. However, the trackpad and USB mouse will work. Any help?
This is quite frustrating, since it randomly occured as I was browsing the web. It seemed to happen out of nowhere. I cannot login to my user account because I cannot type my password.
Any help will be appreciated.
-MattIf you have another Mac, boot the non-working one into Target Disk Mode (holding down "T" at startup). Hook up the two Macs via a Firewire cable. The non-working one will mount on the other Mac as an external Firewire HD.
Next, download the 10.5.6 Combo update from here:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1056comboupdate .html
Run it. When it asks you for a destination, choose the other Mac that was mounted via Firewire. When it's done, unmount the computer and restart it. The keyboard and mouse should work now. -
Installed new trackpad...not working correctly
Hi,
I just installed a new trackpad and it is not working correctly. The tap to click is not working and it takes extra pressure to even move the tracking arrow. Any ideas?I have an Apple Magic Trackpad I purchased November 2013. Since upgrading to 10.9 (Maverick) my trackpad will just stop. My current workaround: turn my Magic Mouse back on (I set it aside in favor of the trackpad), and my trackpad comes back to life. I turn off the mouse, and the trackpad continues ... for now.
Strange, and I have no other answers for you. -
My track pad stopped accepting clicks. I can move the mouse/cursor although clicking will not register with computer. Any suggesstions? HELP!
If you configure the track pad to accept a double-tap = mouse click - do you still have the problem?
I had a similar problem with white MacBooks - the mouse button just wouldn't work anymore - got worn out or something. I think that may be why Apple went with the whole trackpad being the mouse button. I never use that though. I much prefer the double tap. -
I was using Lightroom v5.6 when a notice came up to update to v5.7. So I did the download but it would not work or install. And the 5.6 version will not work now either. So I am screwed - no 5.6 or 5.7 and no access to Adobe Tech. Any help will be appreciated.
My iPod is a click wheel...I think that's fifth generation?
I've always used my firewire cable to update my iPod. I've tried using USB in the past but for some reason it always says that my iPod has low battery and won't let me update it, so I just use firewire. Can I not use firewire with itunes 7?
I'll try using the USB again. It's laying around here somewhere. Just gotta find it.
